Hello,

Nvidia shield tab won't connect with mtp protocol on Ubuntu 14.04.3
It's a big trouble, many users tell me cameras or Svidia Shield are not supported.

To fix it for Nvidia Shield, we need to add the following Udev rule :

in file /lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules

add this line :
ATTR{idVendor}=="0955", ATTR{idProduct}=="cf07", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="audio", ENV{ID_MTP_DEVICE}="1", ENV{ID_MEDIA_PLAYER}="1"

then of course restart udev service :
sudo service udev restart
